Abstract
- In this paper, I examine the effects of affiliation as a Roman Catholic or as a Muslim at the individual and aggregate levels on mass attitudes toward abortion and homosexuality. In general, individual affiliation with either of these traditions is associated with traditionalist values on social issues. However, aggregate-level Islamhas different effects on Eastern and Western Europe: A high Muslim presence is associated with traditional attitudes on issues of sexual morality in Eastern Europe, but a relatively high percentage of Muslims living in Western European nations occasions a more permissive countermobilization at the mass level. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
